fine clothing at such extremely low

is the converse Of home rule. 1t is
a proposition, that outside interfer-
ence shall COMPEL town to attempt
TO close its barrooms before local
public sentiment is ripe for doing
so. The question is, shall we adopt
a system that is based upon the idea
that one county may regulate the
purely local affairs Of another coun-
"? Richie county, for example,
has voted, by a large majority,
against having barrooms. Is Ritch-
lie willing that Jefferson shall COM
pei her to grant licenseg Brooke has
voted against having saloons. Is
Brooke willing for the license-coun-
ties TO determine whether barrooms
shall be opened in Wellsburg?
When this matter comes to beun-
derstood, it will be found that all
temperance men, whose Judgment
is not clouded by unreasoning zeal,
will stand with the DEMOCRAT on
this question. Wedo know by do
ing so they will best promote the
cause of temperance.

earnestly for the reelection of Mr..
Camden accept the result in good
faith, but there seems to be an ele-
ment among them who became sore
ly disappointed and are sowing the
seeds of discord broadcast. This
element would have the kickers, as
they call them, consigned to sack
cloth and ashes so great is their dis
appointment at the defeat of Camden
and the election of Judge Faulkner.
We are glad to believe that this ele-
ment is very small aud they will no
doubt soon see the folly of their
course and repent. In peace is the
time TO prepare for war, and as the
Monroe Watchman says, "Let us
understand each other" If we are
not harmonized don't say so. for we
cannot deceive the enemy, but let us
heal up the breach in our ranks, and
when we look for man to lead our
hosts to victory let not his position
in the late Senatorial contest be &C
copied as a standard for his qualifi
cations, for such course would be
a death blow to the party in this
State.

WHISKEY COMBINES.

The large decrease in the consump-
ton of alcoholic and the correspond
ing increase in the consumption of
malt liquors is causing a heavy de-
probation in the value of distiliery
property. In order to maintain prices
the distilleries have determined to Or
ganize, after the manner of the
Standard Oil Company, for the pur-
pose of controlling the manufacture
OF spirits. The plan is to buy the spir-
it distilleries, paying six per cent. on
the actual value of the property, and
giving certificates of stock in the
pool to the amount of $50 per bushel
of the daily capacity of such estab-
lishments as are equipped with all
the modern appliances. Thus, a dis
tiller who can mash thousand bush
els per day will receive 100000 of
stock, and in that proportion for
greater or less capacity. Distillers
who do not wish to sell their prop
erty on these terms but prefer to run
it themselves, must give heavy bonds
to the pool that they will not run
over 20 per cent. of their capacity,
except that they may run 5 per cent.
more, on condition that they pay in
to the pool, say, 4 cents per gallon
of the product of that 8 per cent.
In this way the pool will get control
ofthe entire spirit distilling business
without the actual outlay of a dollar;
and the values thus controlled are
estimated at some $15,000,000. 1t
is said that the distillers already in
the pool represent about $l2, 1000, 600,
and if the outside distillers refuse
to submit thepool will make was on
them and undersell them in the mar
kets. They will employ the same
methods and use the same weapons
employed by the Standard Oil Com
pany to crush out opposition.

CHOOSE HARMONY.

The Monroe Watchm0a copies
and heartily endorses the following
editorial in the Hinton Independent:
The name of Col. II. p. Chew, of
Jefferson, is being prominently men-
toned in connection with the guber-
Material nomination. All our con-
temporaries speak in the highest
terms Of Col Chew and the Ring
organs can find but one objection to
his being our next Governor, and
that is the firm stand he took in OPP
position to the re election of Mr..
Camden. None have dared charge
the Colonel with other than pure and
honest motives in the late senatorial
contest. Then, if he was conscien-
tiouS in his convictions that the de-
feat Of Mr.. Camden would promote
the welfare of the party, and if the
caucus men believed that the re-elec-
tiOn Of Mr.. Camden was best for the
party, is the former not as good a
Democrat as the latter Those who
opposed Mr.. Camden certainly voiced
the sentiments of their constituency
and notably so in the case of the
Jefferson delegate. These gentlemen
represent the Democratic strong
holds of the State where the great
bulk Of the vote that is relied on to
carry the State will come from. The
CamdeniteS cannot carry the State
without the aid of the anti Camden
ties, and vice versa. Now why carry
the war any farther? Why not work
in harmony for the success of the
party? We are glad to see the large
majority OF those who worked so

A NEWSPAPER APPRECIATED.

against an advance in rates by To-
cal railroad one Of the speakers
said:
The company will undoubtedly OPP
press the people without limit they
quietly submit. Several years ago
this road attempted to control the re
tail coal trade of Philadelphia, but
the Record broke up the plan, and
that journal will succeed in breaking
up this other plan if the people give
it proper support. 1t has shown it.
self to be the only great paper that
looks tothe public interest and holds
itself above the influence of corpora
tions. Other papers have done much
but some have been so subservient to
railroads and monopolistic control
that they will not even print re-
port in favor of any movement OPP
posed to the schemes of these corpo-
rations. The truth must be shown
that the people are above the rail
roads and intend to control them.

FLAG SLUSH.
The Grafton Eagle says:

Gov. Wilson's letter favoring re-
turn of the flags is contemplate.
At the outbreak of the war he was
employed in the Harpers Ferry Ar
senal and, instead of joining his
friends who went South, fled North
where he remained till the danger
was over.
Our Grafton neighbor while gen
orally bitter seems to try ito tote
fair" We give him an opportunity
to remedy the injustice he has done.
Wilson's father was one of many
Northern mechanics brought to Har-
per's Ferry by the Government.
When the Confederates captured
that place, the operatives in the Ar
mory went with their respective sec
tons; Southern men went South and
Northern men went North. There
were, perhaps, few exceptions, but
this was the rule, and the man
who did not 90 with his section was
looked upon with suspicion. Will
sons father went home to take his
stand with his native State He
was 4 man of character,of con-
viction and of nerve. 1t was
right that he should 60 with his
section. He died during the
war leaving his family in straight
ened circumstances. Wilson the
SOC, was then a mere child, not
over Is, very small for his age, and
very frail. To say that he ''fed,"
is as groundless as if spoken Of an
infant carried by its nurse. His
mother is native of the Ferry and,
her husband being dead, she re-
turned when the war ended to her
native town to rear her young family
among her own people. To his
credit be it said that, although a
mere child, Wilson worked to earn
food for his mother and her younger
children.
The attempted noise about the
flags is too ridiculous to engage our
space. The Governor was very fool
ish to dignity that noise by giving
it his notice. Sensible men are in
suited when politicians endeavor to
occupy the public mind with such
infinite nonsense. We hope, this
attempt to distract attention from
vital issues, has been discounted.

NAPOLEON.
Scribner's Magazine for July.

On the 18th of July, 1915, Napo-
leon surrendered himself on board
the British man of-war Bellerophon
Of his appearance and bodily condi-
ton during the two months of his
stay on this vessel we have an inter-
esting account in the narrative of
Capt. Maitland, who commanded
the ship. Maitland describes him
as "a remarkably strong, well-built
man, about five feet seven inches
high, his limbs particularly we'll
formed, with fine ankle and very
small foot,o which he seemed rather
vain, as he always wore, while on
board the ship, silk stockings and
shoes. His hands were also very
small, and had the plumpness of
woman's rather than the robustness
of a mans. His eyes light gray,
teeth good, and when he smiled the
expression of his countenance was
highly pleasing; when under the
influence of disappointment, howev-
er, it assumed a dark. gloomy cast.
His hair was of a very dark brown,
nearly approaching black, and tho
a little thin on the top and front,
had not a gray hair among it. His
complexion was a very uncommon
one, being of light, sallow color,
differing from any other ever met
with. From his having become cor
